About This Workflow
Overview
This n8n workflow is designed to automate the process of transforming a daily news newsletter, like Morning Brew, into a concise script suitable for short-form video content. It leverages Apify to extract text from the newsletter, then uses LangChain with GPT-4.1 Mini to summarize the most critical news items into an engaging, spoken-word script. Finally, it demonstrates how this script could be integrated with HeyGen to generate a video (though the full video generation part is commented out in the provided snippet, the calls to HeyGen for avatars, voices, and video status are present).
This workflow solves the problem of manually sifting through newsletters and crafting short video scripts, saving significant time and effort for content creators looking to repurpose content for platforms like TikTok or Instagram Reels.
Key Features
- Automated newsletter content extraction via Apify.
- AI-powered summarization of key news stories using LangChain and GPT.
- Generation of concise, spoken-word video scripts.
- Placeholder for HeyGen video generation (avatar and voice selection, video status check).
How To Use
- Configure Apify: Set up the
Newsnode with the desired newsletter URL (e.g., Morning Brew's latest issue). - Define Scripting Prompt: Configure the
Script Writernode with a clear system prompt that instructs the AI on the desired script length, tone, and content focus. - Select AI Model: Choose your preferred AI model in the
GPT 4.1 Mininode (or replace with another language model node). - Integrate with HeyGen (Optional): Connect to HeyGen by obtaining your API key and using the
Generate Videonode. You'll need to pre-select or dynamically fetchavatar_idandvoice_idfrom theGet AvatarsandGet Voicesnodes respectively, and then monitor video generation status usingGet Videonodes. The provided snippet shows the structure but requires actual ID inputs. - Trigger Workflow: Manually trigger the workflow using the
When clicking ‘Test workflow’node, or set up an external trigger.
